Skimmed through the new SVG WD
that came out a few days ago (SVG, Scalable Vector Graphics,
is the
w3c's XML-based vector graphics format for the web). An
interesting new
development is that there are now two variants of SVG,
Stylable SVG and
Exchange SVG.

Stylable SVG is intended for the web environment and
uses style
sheets for the rendering properties like e.g. fill colors.
For
stand-alone programs like Sketch this
is quite
unfortunate because you need essentially the entire
stylesheet engine to
be able to import an SVG file properly.

Exchange SVG is targeted at interoperability and
addresses exactly
this problem by specifying the rendering properties as
normal XML
attributes so it's a lot easier to import.

Apparently someone is unsatisfied with SuSE's distribution
and wants
create an organization that aquires 51% of the shares after
SuSE's IPO
to make them abandon their own distribution and support
debian instead.

This sounds like a joke but it doesn't look like it,
although it
seems highly unlikely to that they have a chance to succeed.
